VERSE 1.

Why do plates stay on the table?

How do planes float across the sky?

Why do flowers bloom in Springtime?

Why do people live a life only to pass bye?

Why are some so rich and famous

While others struggle to get by?

Why do some understand persistence?

While others give up after the first try?

CHORUS



The secrets of life

The secrets of life

They are hiding, but they’re not too hard to find, yeah, yeah, yeah…

The secrets of life

The secrets of life

Are waiting if you only take the time

BRIDGE

How do we share our common condition

Yet, be so far apart in what we believe?

What’s happened to the spiritual connection

That supposedly flows thru you and me?

REPEAT CHORUS

The secrets of life

The secrets of life

They are hiding, but they’re not too hard to find, yeah, yeah, yeah…

The secrets of life

The secrets of life

Are waiting if you only take the time

VERSE 2

Why do fear and selfishness confuse

Every chance we have to share charity in this life we’re passing through?

Why don’t we seize the chances to find

The magnificent potential living in our hearts and minds?

REPEAT CHORUS

The secrets of life

The secrets of life

They are hiding, but they’re not too hard to find, yeah, yeah, yeah…

The secrets of life

The secrets of life

Are waiting if you only take the time

They are waiting

They are waiting

They’re waiting
